You always noticed that in the world where you are living things tend to move around a lot and this fascinates us to study the science of motion. Motion is the phenomenon in which a body changes its position over time. Mathematically, you can describe the motion of a body in terms of distance, displacement, […]

Activity Suppose you have a gun in your hand and you are going to shoot at a big wooden block (as shown in the animation below). https://eduvigyan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Activity_eqn-of-kinematics_1_com.mp4 You notice that either the bullet comes out of the block or it fully stopped inside it. It means that the speed of the bullet is continuously decreasing
